Hey. I hear a lot of people say that The Get Backers was good but when I look at the previews it looks really dumb........ So is it a good anime or a boring anime?

I saw the series in Animax. And i have to say that i really enjoyed it. The characters are cool and funny(especially Gingi Amano). Some of the episodes are really funny.the one in which Gingi falls off a building and gets admitted in a hospital and kazuki dresses up as a nurse. The ending however was inconclusive. But it is still a good anime to watch.

I have never seen the anime but I red a few copies of the manga and its not that bad. They don't have the best superpowers and the whole independent detective thing isn't that cool for them since thier poor, but the kinda got the whole underdog vigilante thing down pack. If your not feeling the anme i would strongly suggest headin to the manga instead.

I think it's a good anime: fun, lighthearted, and entertaining.
The series picks up when they get into a more lengthy story dealing with Ginji and Ban's separate pasts, how they met each other, and even some past grudges. Dr. Jackal is an interesting antagonist of the series, being the typical baddie who just enjoys a good fight. I suggest giving it a chance if you tend to like action animes where characters have superpowers and such. The characters are varied and cool; it's got some humor in it as well, especially in the episodes that transition one major chapter to another. Two of the main stories deal with Ginji's past catching up to him (you find out why he was once known as the Lightning Emperor).
All in all, it's worth seeing.

It depend on how look at the power. Ginji can generate electrity from his body, so he can zap anybody within his range. Ban can manipulate people by using his "evil eye" to make people dream.
If you think these power are cool like my little 10 year old cousin, then you'll like the series. If you think the power is lame and unrealistic like I do, it might not be as enjoyable. It seem like every sticky situation, Ban just use his Evil eye to get the Getbackers out of trouble.

To me, it was an action/comedy anime intended for "older children" but with more blood. It's not Saiyuki and it's not Hellsing.

I love the last couple episodes in that arc. But... wasn't it Ban that stopped MakubeX with his jagan? Ginji did prevent him from commiting suicide, though.

Me and my bud are almost done watching it. So depending on how it ends, I might buy the box set.
I love this series. I was shocked to find out Kazuki was a boy!
They had me fooled.

My guess is that it's fun to see people's reactions when they first realize that.

I didn't want to spoil it if someone hadn't seen it yet.
